Scone Palace breathes history like nowhere else in Scotland. It is the family home of the Earls of Mansfield and the ancient crowning place of Scottish kings on the Stone of Scone. See where the Stone, known as the Stone of Destiny, once stood. It now resides in Edinburgh Castle. Set on the edge of Perth this was the crowning place of Scottish kings for over 1,000 years, including Robert the Bruce and Charles II. You can wander down the Long Galley where King Charles II strode to his coronation in 1661. During the Jacobite rebellions, the ‘Old Pretender’ spent three weeks at Scone while his son, Bonnie Prince Charlie, visited in 1745. Learn about the Jacobite rebellions, the needlework skills of Mary Queen of Scots, see the State Rooms where Queen Victoria was entertained on visits, and wander the beautiful gardens and woodlands that surround the palace.
